Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals. Enjoy the builds and please also visit us on Facebook and Twitter
Nice, small and has room for tweaking - i just love to do these modern, super cheap china circuits.. Layout is according to fsb-trace by CheapPedaCollector - who does amazing job with pedals like this one.
The gain range was not specified with the trace. For the real current gain you'll getting out of this little circuit, i really don't think it's all that important. However, i recall seein a few joyos having the basic BC549C for BJTs.
Either way. You'll be fine with any silion NPN, just note the pinout. +m
Verified. This boost sounds very similar to a standard LPB-2: dirty, and with low headroom. This one would be an OK alternative for single coils, but for humbuckers, an LPB-2 with the gain pot moved up front would be a better choice.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThe best transistor BC549 is type A, B or C?
Thanks

Nice. I'll tag it.
